Why is Yao Ming always hurt

Yao Ming is in the news again. Poor guy. He seems to always be hurt. This time it’s a lingering foot issue. We’ve covered his foot bone spurs and his foot infection before. It seems a remarkable run of injuries for the man that was once the future of the NBA.

While Yao claims to want to come back and play for the Houston Rockets, his history of being injured is a major roadblock to his goal. The team has to make plans without him and even when he is ready, they will be very cautious of bringing him in full time.
